OKCPS Academies Prepare Students to Succeed
Since the 2011-12 school year, the Oklahoma City Public School District has
offered its students the chance to pursue more rigorous and specialized courses
of study in certain fields through its Career Academies – career-themed schools
within the high schools.
The business community has responded with support for this effort to get
students college- and career-ready after graduation by offering these students
internships, donating resources, serving on advisory boards and more.
Any eighth-grader can apply to be in one of the district’s Career Academies
for high school, and the district has partnered with The National Academy
Foundation and Metro Technology Centers to provide this educational
opportunity throughout the district.

Fastest-Growing Companies Celebrated at Metro 50
On Sept. 29, 2015, the Metro 50 committee honored
50 of the fastest-growing, privately-owned companies
in the region at the 20th annual Metro 50 Awards.
Earning the title of Oklahoma City’s fastest-growing
company was CNI Advantage LLC., with Candor and
PowerHouse Resources International Inc. rounding
out the second- and third-fastest growing companies,
respectively.
CNI Advantage LLC was named the fastest-growing company at
the 2015 Metro 50 Awards. Above, Jeff Keel with CNI Advantage
receives the award from the Metro 50 Committee and Mayor Mick
Cornett at the celebration on Sept. 29.
The company with the most growth in this year’s
rankings, CNI Advantage, grew from five to 100
employees since 2013 and experienced revenue growth
of more than 3,300 percent. CNI Advantage offers
a total logistics solution for its customers, including
construction, job order contracting, supply chain
management and security support and has been in
operation for four years.

Giving credit where it is due
Last month, the Chamber and other members of the
Metro 50 Committee were able to honor the 50 fastest
growing companies in the central Oklahoma region.
While this event celebrated individual companies
throughout the metro area and in several different
sectors, it also highlights something very important
about Oklahoma City’s economy: It is sustained by our
existing businesses.
Roy H. Williams, CCE
In total, the 2015 Metro 50 winners generated more
President & CEO
than $735 million in revenues and employed about
2,100 Oklahomans. This significant economic impact supports the recently released
findings of our 2015 Business Retention and Expansion Report – Oklahoma City’s
most significant economic growth comes from its existing businesses. In FY15, 93
percent of interviewed companies reported an increase or no change to the number
of people that they employed and 69 percent said their product or service was in an
emerging life cycle. A majority of the companies in Oklahoma City are thriving.
While a lot of factors contribute to a company’s success, we must give credit to the
existing businesses that employ our neighbors and invest in our communities. The
business leaders of Oklahoma City are hardworking and determined. I am confident
that no matter what challenges come our way, the Oklahoma City business community
will continue to lead the way in creating progress. The Chamber is proud to be your
voice, and I am proud of all that you do to make Oklahoma City one of the greatest
cities in the nation to conduct business.

GreaterGrads.com Gets a New Look
The Chamber recently launched a new website for its Greater Grads program, a Forward Oklahoma City program
that connects current college students and recent graduates with employers in the metro area. The website, which
can be accessed at www.GreaterGrads.com, offers resources for employers to strengthen their college recruiting
strategies and provides internship listings for students to access. The website is also the main landing page for the
Greater Grads Career Fair, which takes place each spring, and the InternOKC summer internship program.
The new website features a responsive design that can be accessed from desktop computers, smart phones and
tablets. Not only does this design provide a cleaner and crisper look, it also makes sure that Greater Grads’ resources
are available no matter the device used to access them. The website better connects visitors to already available
content from the Chamber and career services offices at area universities.
“In today’s mobile culture, it is important for us
to make our information readily available across
all platforms,” said Drew Dugan, vice president of
education and workforce development for the Chamber.
“The new site will provide better access for our
employers, and it also better promotes living, working
and playing in Oklahoma City to the students who are
considering starting their career here.”

Students Learn Career Skills at Academies (cont’d from page 1)
“We are a school within a school so we have a lot
of pride in our program,” said Mike Jennings, career
academy site manager at Capitol Hill, referring to the
engineering academy.
Districtwide, about 1,100 students have signed up
for career academies so far this year, said Kate Haydon,
who was with the district and is now NAF’s academy
development manager for this region. The first career
academy students with OKCPS graduated this past May,
and a majority of those named college as their goal.
Students at the Academy of Information Technology at Southeast
High School are learning real-life applications for their video
production interests by filming and editing a video about the
academy.
and the drone dropped from the sky, but later attempts
were more successful as the drones took off.
For the students, landing the drones gently turned out
to be the most difficult part of the class that day, as some
of them flew high into the air and sailed away.
In some ways, that’s the point: The Academy of
Engineering that has brought these students together for
the drone-flying experiment is designed to help them
find flight and soar – with new ideas, skills and longterm goals that include college.
“I was lucky they enrolled me in the class. … I want
to stay with this,” said ninth grader Heriboto Morales,
who is interested in graphic design. “It involves a lot of
math.”
In return, these students will enter the workforce
better prepared to succeed in their chosen fields.

Capitol Hill’s Academy of Engineering is one of nine
academies throughout the Oklahoma City Public School
District offering specialized learning for students in
certain areas, including fine arts, finance, health sciences,
hospitality and tourism, law and public safety and more.
The National Academy Foundation (NAF) notes on
its website that during the 2014-15 school year, nearly
82,000 students attended 667 NAF academies in 38
states, including Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin
Islands. And of those, 97 percent of seniors graduated
from high school, and 93 percent of the graduates
planned to go to college.
The academies and related internships help students
make the connection about why they’re in school,
making learning “relevant and real,” she said.
Instructors and volunteers at several academies noted
their students are motivated and confident; many are
seeing increases in test scores among academy students.
In the freshman-level introduction to engineering
design class, Capitol Hill academy teacher Jonathan
Inhoff said the students not only are building drones,
but they’ll also design items on a professional CAD
program that they can print on a 3D printer.
In another classroom on the same campus, teacher
Erika Reyes with the Fine Arts Academy leads a
group of students through dance moves and exercise.
The academy students performed at the State Fair
High School Career Academies in Oklahoma City

in September and will perform at the Fiestas de Las
Americas this month. In addition to dance, this academy
also offers music and drama and is in its first year at
Capitol Hill.
“I hope to get our 75 freshman and sophomores on
the right path. I hope to inspire future academy students
in middle schools,” she said. “We are the only Academy
of the Arts on the south side of Oklahoma City.”
On another recent afternoon at Southeast High
School, students in the Academy of Information
Technology are filming a video featuring business leaders
eager to support and promote the academy. After it’s
over, SandRidge Energy volunteers lead a discussion
about video production and real-life applications.
OKCPS’s newest career academy, the Academy of Fine Arts at
Capitol Hill High School, offers the only Academy of the Arts in
south Oklahoma City.
These academies “are full of students that want to
achieve and want to find a place in this city and in the
business community where they can accomplish their
goals,” said Bank of America Merrill Lynch Market
President Tony Shinn in the video. “The students in high
schools in these career academies are some of the best
and brightest, and we need to provide all the resources
and support we can to help them achieve their goals.”
